Tumor and Transplantation Immunology

Sunil K. Chatterjee, PhD
Dr. Chatterjee's laboratory is interested in construction and testing of cancer vaccines. Based on the structures of tumor-associated antigens, they have prepared a number of tumor vaccines and are testing these vaccines for their anti-tumor efficacy and studying the mechanism of induction of anti-tumor immunity. The vaccines with high potential will be tested in clinical trials.
Michael Jordan, MD
Dr. Jordan's lab is studying the mechanisms by which the adaptive immune response is initiated and controlled; we focus on two areas: 1) we have developed an animal model of a rare but deadly condition called hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH); 2) we are interested in how immune responses are initiated by vaccination, particularly in the context of cancer immunotherapy.
Alex Lentsch, PhD
Regulation of inflammatory responses by cytokines, chemokines and adhesion molecules; mechanisms governing angiogenesis in prostate tumors.
David A. Williams, MD
Dr. Williams' laboratory studies the function of the Ras-related Rho GTPases in hematopoiesis and immune cell function. In addition, the laboratory has a long standing interest in gene transfer/gene therapy of hematopoietic and immne deficiency diseases using viral vectors.
